Early Game 2-Card Combos

Early game 2-card combos are combos that have significant results and any prerequisites are trivial to accomplish. They can easily be executed in the first six or so turns. These factors were voted on by the community in our Combo Vote.

These combos should not be played in the lower three brackets of the Commander Bracket system: Exhibition, Core and Upgraded. They should only be played in Brackets 4 and 5: Optimized and CEDH, respectively. Learn more about the Commander Bracket system here.
